Over time, and with proof over a universal range, scientific theories can become scientific laws.  The Universal Law of Gravitation is one such example.

It is important to make the distinction between a scientific theory and a common theory. Many will refer to some hypotheses (good examples include [[Young Earth Theory]] and [[Intelligent Design]]) as theories, despite their utter lack of supporting evidence, and then claiming them to be as valid as an evidence-backed scientific theory.

It is important to note that some theories have much more supporting evidence that others.
